school unfocus syndrome
The phenomenon where students currently in school, who are unfocused in class, commonly think they’re the only ones struggling, while most school leavers (especially adults over 25) remember being unfocused too.

babe
Named after the 1995 family movie titled "Babe", this slang term refers to "pig" as this animal is considered to be haram (forbidden) in Middle Eastern religions like Islam and Judaism — despite pork claimed to be tastier than beef, chicken, or seafood
I love how people call their favorite dishes 'babe' due to their unrivaled delicious flavor, even though pork is seen as haram in Islam!
